plexus (C5 and 6) in the axil a
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? It passes backward and entersthe quadrangular space with the
posterior circumflex humeral
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
artery
? As the nerve passes through the
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
space, it comes into closerelationship with the inferior
aspect of the capsule of the
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
shoulder joint and with the
medial side of the surgical neck
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
of the humerus? It terminates by dividing into
anterior and posterior branches
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Axillary Nerve
? branches:
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? An articular branch to the
shoulder joint
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? An anterior terminalbranch, which winds
around the surgical neck
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
of the humerus beneath
the deltoid muscle; it
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
supplies the deltoid andthe skin that covers its
lower part.
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Axillary Nerve
? A posterior terminal branch, which gives off
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
a branch to the teres minor muscle and afew branches to the deltoid, then emerges
from the posterior border of the deltoid as
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
the upper lateral cutaneous nerve of the

Arterial Anastomosis Around the
Shoulder Joint
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? The extreme mobility of theshoulder joint may result in
kinking of the axillary artery
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
and a temporary occlusion
of its lumen
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? To compensate for this, animportant arterial
anastomosis exists between
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
the branches of the
subclavian artery and the
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
axillary artery? ensuring that an adequate
blood flow takes place into
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
the upper limb irrespective
of the position of the arm
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Arterial Anastomosis Around the Shoulder Joint
Branches from the Subclavian Artery
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? The suprascapular artery, which isdistributed to the supraspinous and
infraspinous fossae of the scapula
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? The superficial or transverse cervical
artery, which gives off a deep branch that
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
runs down the medial border of thescapula
Branches from the Axil ary Artery
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? The subscapular artery and its circumflex
scapular branch supply the subscapular
